interesting facts
since the isolated property is not connected to the electricity or the water supply network yet, the hosts turned to alternative sources, like solar panels and spare aggregates They buried as many as 15 water cisterns in the ground and made ponds that collect rainwater and serve as sources of water for all the wild animals in the area. In addition, they plan to work on the surrounding springs, which are rich in water coming from the Planik peak.
an interesting fact is that construction of pipeline for water accumulation started during the austria-hungary rule and was never completed The project was completed partially, but there is faith that it will be finished one day and that it will enable full inexhaustible water supply in this area, which has great water potential.

exit the istrian y motorway at junction lupoglav After getting past toll booths, continue driving through Lupoglav in the direction of Buzet. Make a sharp right turn to Lupoglav street and drive on it for a short time until you reach the sign for Brest pod Uckom. Once there, turn right and drive to Brest pod Uckom.
once you reach brest pod uckom, continue driving through to the end of the village, where you will see a crucifix Turn left at the crucifix and after about 50 m you will reach a big car park that can receive a lot of cars on the right. That is the starting point of this hiking trip.
from the car park, return by asphalt road back through the village until you reach the first house that can be seen when arriving from the direction of lupoglav (330 m) and turn right After turning, you will see the last house in the direction of the hike after about 100 m. After continuing further past that house, the hiking trail leads over abandoned macadam road (gully) for the next 1.37 km, when it intersects with a good macadam road coming from the direction of Lupoglav.
about 30 m after exiting to the aforementioned macadam road, there is an intersection of hiking trails at which you should turn left (the intersection does not indicate the direction to veliki planik) to a macadam road again The hike continues further on the macadam road until you reach the sign for turning right to a trampled hiking trail, which goes on until it exits to a poorer macadam road, which continues to an intersection with a good macadam road, at which you should turn left.
this part of the hike, until the intersection with the good macadam road is reached, can present issues with orientation if the hike is made in late spring or summer while grass is high since markings are on the ground
after turning to the aforementioned macadam road, the hike continues on the macadam road for 36 km. At that point, turn to the left to a forest path and continue the hike for about 100 m, after which you should turn right to a hiking trail that leads a little steeper uphill until you reach an intersection with a macadam road coming from the direction of Poklon.
at that point, the macadam road ends and the hike continues further on a forest path until the saddle between veliki planik and mali planik is reached Turn left at the aforementioned intersection and after about 15 minutes of somewhat steep hike, you will reach the Veliki Planik peak.
return to the saddle from veliki planik and continue the hike towards the mali planik peak It is a short, somewhat steeper hike, until you exit to its elongated ridge. The ridge stretches northwest-southeast. The peak point is at its southeastern end.
